MacRuby application on Xcode
Hi I have Xcode 6.1 installed (6A1052d). I am new to Ruby and installed MacRuby to allow me to use Xcode as my Ruby development environment. After downloading and installing MacRuby I tried to create an OS X MacRuby project/application using the instructions on this page https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/wiki/Creating-a-simple-application. But Xcode crashed … twice. On the new project options window I didn’t select any App Store Category (is this required?) and then clicked Next, and then the crash. I have attached the log file for this crash. I can obviously create a source file where I can write Ruby code, but I can’t seem to compile and run this directly in Xcode. Could someone please help?

I believe that MacRuby is effectively dead. You'll want to check out RubyMotion. On Wednesday, October 22, 2014, Sandeep Murthy <s.murthy@mykolab.com> wrote:

MacRuby has been overtaken by bit-rot and is no longer viable. You may need to move in another direction. Here are a few options: 1. As another poster in the thread indicated, try RubyMotion, a commercial product developed by the creator of MacRuby that is essentially its successor. 2. Switch to Objective-C for developing of a Cocoa app with Xcode. 3. Use Ruby with another GUI toolkit, such as Tk: Ruby has just added support for Tk's latest version, 8.6. Tk works pretty well on the Mac, other GUI toolkits are not well-maintained on the Mac.

There is also the pure ruby cocoa gem https://github.com/patrickhno/cocoa Patrick On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 4:18 AM, Kevin Walzer <kw@codebykevin.com> wrote:

There's also RubyCocoa: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rubycocoa/files/RubyCocoa/1.2.0/. Note that the text incorrectly says "Looking for the latest version? Download RubyCocoa-1.0.0.tar.gz (2.8 MB)"; the newest is actually 1.2.0. It was updated in July and says it works on 10.9; I'm not sure about 10.10 or Xcode 6.1. Also, since the subject of switching languages came up, Apple's new Swift is closer in spirit to Ruby than Objective-C was: https://developer.apple.com/swift/ On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 3:29 AM, Patrick Hanevold <patrick.hanevold@gmail.com> wrote:
